Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Blavatnik School of Government is seeking to recruit up to three Postdoctoral Research Fellows.

These fellowships are aimed at early career academics with exciting research agendas addressing challenges of governments across the world. We wish to appoint people with the potential to become candidates for Associate Professorships, who are committed to outstanding teaching, research, and public policy engagement.

You will engage in and manage original, world-class research which addresses challenges faced by governments; collaborate in the preparation of research publications; disseminate research through publication in highly-ranked, peer reviewed journals; present papers at conferences and seminars; and teach on our degree programmes. There is limited teaching associated with this post to give early career candidates time to devote to their research. But over the course of the fellowship, we will be interested in having you spend time in the classroom.

Successful candidates will have a doctorate in a discipline relevant to the School’s work. You will show the ability and willingness to undertake applied research that has the potential to impact public policy and practice; evidence of developing a track record of internationally excellent publications, commensurate with your career stage; and have the ability to carry out independent, world-class research.
